[bug] - SageMaker_SSH_IDE.ipynb does not work

[andormarkus]

Hi Team and @ivan-khvostishkov ,

I followed the instructions of Local IDE integration with SageMaker Studio over SSH for PyCharm / VSCode.

How to reproduce

I did the following steps:

1. Created new SageMaker domain
2. Updated the execution roles according the Setting up your AWS account with IAM and SSM configuration guide
3. Launched a Studio personal application
4. Created a new Space
5. Launched JupyterLab environment
6. Downloaded the latest version of this repo, uploaded to the notebook and unzipped
7. Opened SageMaker_SSH_IDE.ipynb and selected the Python 3 (ipykernel) as kernel
8. Started the execution of the cells in the notebook
9. The following cell execution failed

%%sh
sm-ssh-ide configure
-> mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/opt/sagemaker-ssh-helper/’: Permission denied

Steps tried to solve the issue

I tried to following steps to solve the issue:

%%sh
whoami

-> sagemaker-user

%%sh
groups sagemaker-user

-> sagemaker-user : users

%%sh
ls -s /

drwxr-xr-x   1 root   root     17 Oct  4 02:12 var

It looks like the sagemaker-user does not have permission to write to /opt.

Let's add sagemaker-user to root group and restart the sessions and the instance as well to be sure.

I still get the the same issue.

Possible solutions

1. The sm-ssh-ide scripts utilises alternative directory and not /opt
2. The permission of the sagemaker-user is fixed or ACL is added to the /opt directory.

Thanks,
Andor

Hi, Andor, thanks for your interest in SageMaker SSH Helper! Unfortunately the newly updated SageMaker Studio experience is not working yet with SageMaker SSH Helper.

Could you please try SageMaker Studio Classic in a meantime?

If you want to add it a new use case or a feature, see CONTRIBUTING.

I'm closing this issue now in favour of #51, please continue the conversation there.

Can we get a message in the README That alerts users this repo isn't working in the current version of Sagemaker?
